I dropped it no more than 2 feet on to a carpeted floor while playing music, and the music stopped, I assume it was paused but when I press play the music comes from the speaker.. any ideas? I checked the headphones obviously and they work fine on other devices

For anyone that cares I found a workaround for this.. the headphone jack isn't completely broken, just whatever part in there detects whether or not headphones are plugged in. I found an apk floating around that you can toggle to force it to use the headphones jack regardless if there are headphones plugged in or not.
Not exactly what I wanted but I don't use headphones unless I'm traveling which is rare anyway.

Anyone having issues with their headphone jacks? I noticed on my phone that if I wiggle my headphone while in the phone a tad bit it cuts out the music. Also when using a wired headset I was having issues too.
I bought this at Radioshack, do I go to them for an exchange or to Sprint?
Take it back to RadioShack
Well I exchanged it and still having issues. Sometimes when I hook up external speakers the Evo sees it as headphones or headphones with mic. Sometimes the tracks skip by themselves. Anyone having issues?

Already Addressed.
Thanks for the information. I did a search for headphones and didn't come up with much.
There's also a longer thread, but I can't find it. There under music/audio. It's so F-ING annoying driving and looking down at my phone saying really lol

I've got an aux input in my car, and today when I tried plugging in my GSIII, I got met with a faint but annoying whistling sound underneath my music.
It stops if there's no sound being sent over the wire, but the moment a notification (or music) starts playing, it comes up.
Car worked fine with my DX, and still works fine with my friends' iPhones, but I get the stupid sound with my brand new galaxy siii. Oddly enough, it works fine with headphones.
any ideas guys? I'm kinda stumped.
Search ground loop isolation. You are getting dirty power to your phone.

Do you have the phone charging through the cigarette lighter? You can get ground noise from there, and it will be transmitted through the phone to your stereo.
Hm. Let me try again without it charging, but that's strange. Why did my old DX not experience this?
Assuming that's the issue - will a different cable solve the problem?
edit: So I checked the phone without plugging it into the charger. Still get a whistling noise. It's really more like a high pitched hum. I notice that if I don't plug the plug in all the way it doesn't happen (but I think I only get one channel).
I'm getting the same thing, and it's driving me crazy. At first I thought my brakes were going bad in my car!
I've tried different audio players and apps, but it still always get the noise. The phone is not charging, and I did not get this with my old captivate either.
Any ideas?
Doesnt happen in my Porsche. I'm using Bluetooth audio though.

Thats strange. I will get that when charging, but only while nothing is playing.

I am having the same issue. First time experiencing it though; never heard it with the iPhone, HOX, or NS
I'm using a line in cable, and when i jiggle it, i can hear the noise change tone at the same time. I have a feeling it might be because it's a regular stereo cable and the microphone combo jack on the phone is not working right with it. But that's just a guess.
It's pretty annoying and its making the phone unusable as a music player.
Happens in my Lamborghini (Dodge Caravan) when using a MP3 player. Usually, if I run my hand down the cable it clears as though it's some kind of static build up in the cable.

try flipping the cable (putting the aux in side into the phone and the phone side in the aux in) it happens to me sometimes and if I flip the cable it clears it out I couldn't tell you why though. also make sure there isn't any dust in the ports or on the cable ends.
That noise you hear is most likely due to the electrical system in the car. I rent cars all the time for work and never know the shape the electrical sys is in so to resolve the issue I bought a Kensington Cable from amazon and now have CD quality sound from any music app including pandora & spotify.
Hope this helps.:cyclops:

Unfortunately, my cable is RCA on one side (L+R channels split) and regular 3.5mm on other.

Not sure what you mean by "the electrical system" and the "shape" of it. Could you clarify? As I said, I have no problems with other devices in this car.
I would usually suspect something wrong with the car, or maybe a ground loop, but I can plug in my Galaxy S (Captivate) or iPod with the same cable, same everything, just switching out the phone, and the noise goes away.
The way the noise cuts in and out between songs, and when I close the music app, it seems to only happen when the audio chip is getting a signal or is being energized. This is making me think that it may just be a noisy chip :crying:
I was on conf call with SGS3 plugged to AUX, no power charging was going on. And either noise canceling didn't work, or noise was getting in thru AUX line to receiving end. I didn't have problems listening, but ppl on the other end complained, and I had to mute the mic.
:crying:

sorry! Could you speak up please? I couldn"t hear you over the sound of your e-penis
I am having the same problem. My HTC Thunderbolt never had this problem. Same car and cables, I get the hissing and popping until I play something. Then it goes away until I stop the music and then it comes back again. Weird and disappointing.
The problem comes from the 4-pin (TRRS) audio jack in the GSIII combined with presumably bad grounding in my 2007 Honda Accord, or the Aux adapter.
I fixed it with a simple DIY solution. I cannibalized a TRRS headphone jack and bought a TRS (3-pin) port from radioshack. I clipped off the jack with a generous portion of wire, then stripped them and cleaned them from their insulation (they are covered in insulating dye).
I connected 3 of the wires to the TRS connector, and taped the whole thing up. No more hum.
Also known as Road Noise. Where the power cable and audio input are too close to each other. Electrical current emits a small magnetic field which will hinder audio quality and promote road noise from the alternator.
This is a very typical senario in car audio install, when you run the power cable and rca right next to each other.
this buzzing noise happens to me every time i drive my car for the past 3 years:
solution: turn down the car volume. if you keep your car volume half-way, then you wont hear it as much, or you wont hear it at all.... you can make the phone volume as loud as you want though. also, as you accelerate faster, the noise gets louder. watch, try it.
Hey all, I received my Inc4G Monday and I am a really enjoying this phone, and but I get an annoying hiss through wired ear buds or wired headphones... the hiss is less if I disable beats audio. Does anyone else have this issue? Do I need to buy beats ear buds to filter the hiss?
Thanks for any insight.

I have the hiss also when I use an audio cable in my car. It seems like a ground loop or some sort of induction issue cause when I move the wire, the hiss disappears. Would love to solve it, really annoying.
Happened to me to but on an ipod touch

Could be a bad cable or audio jack if the noise goes away with cable movement. If you suspect a ground loop you need an isolator along the lines of this...

Is anyone else experiencing this problem or know how to fix it?
When I have my headphones plugged in and nothing playing on my phone, there is a constant feedback/whining/high pitch noise that occurs. It almost sounds similar to the sound an alarm clock or something makes when you have a cell phone near it.
I read in another forum that the Droid Bionic had a similar problem that was fixed in an OTA update. Does this sound like a software issue?
Most certainly is software. I had it too after I got off a call and plugged my car aux back in with no music.

Did you have it plugged into a car charger at the same time? It may be alternator whine coming through. I have a slight amount of whine come through if its charging from my lighter socket, but none at all when it is running on battery. This has happened with every one of my phones, and seems much better with my DNA than with my HTC Trophy, but is a common issue with the vehicle electrical system and not the phone.

Yea, I can confirm this too, with almost EVERY phone I have ever had, there is a whine when using the phones headphone jack with the car charger, its normal, albeit annoying.
I have this issue as well. With different iems I get a different amount of hiss/noise.
I get it too but I hear it plugged in or not. Beats is supposed to be one of the selling points for the DNA like it or not,so hopefully its a software fix away.
